Ok, then let me rephrase:
The Captain who I spoke to at CFRC Ottawa said that the CFAT was important, and gave me justification to believe the same. He also urged me to re-do it, and I believe that my higher score was one of the factors that led to my acceptance to RMC.
So if "good enough" on...
Well obviously you should take everything on this forum with a grain of salt. It's the internet.
But the Capt. was quite experienced. When he was explaining why the CFAT carried so much weight, he put it like this, and KY-Ottawa was right on the money: when looking through all the peeps who...
I can't remember exactly, maybe 40-50% of the overall weight. I just know that it's an overwhelming proportion compared to the other components. It was the Capt. who did my interview that told me this. He realized that every part of my application was solid, but my CFAT score was average, so he...
I qualified the first time I wrote it too, but then this year my file manager gave me the opportunity to write it again and I blew my last score outta the water. It honestly makes your application so much more competitive. A large portion of the overall scoring is based on the CFAT so never...
There's nothing wrong with joining reserves of even going NCM in the reg force. I know we're all gung ho about being officers, but it's not like NCM's are anything less. Sure your pay grades are lower and you can't get into the officers mess, but you're the person who's actually getting shit...
She didn't say exactly, but I'd guess that's how many guys were merit listed. I wouldn't think guys who weren't listed would be counted as applicants since technically they didn't make it through the application. But who knows.
So the class yesterday was good news! Got my acceptance today! I ended up just walking into the RC to meet with the Cpl. who I was supposed to call. She was so nice.
So yeah, accepted to RMC Kingston as a MARS Officer pursuing an Arts degree. Spent the last year here at uOttawa but screw it...
First off congratulations to everyone one their offers!
But I've got a story to tell: So me and my cousin both applied to ROTP out of Ottawa, him for RMC and me for CiviU. This is my second time applying and I've been in the system for two years now. My cousin on the other hand basically made...
PT isn't just about passing boot amp or making the min. standards. Fitness is a lifestyle, and it will have infinite rewards throughout any career. It's proved that being in good physical condition enhances your mental capacity, thus making you more psychologically capable, regardless of your...
Yeah I kind of meant that handwriting analysis comment as a joke, even if they do look at it, that's not what's gonna make or break your app. Who knew it was such a hot topic haha.
Yikes, that's rough. If you can prove that it won't make you a liability in your trade then you can probably get an exemption, but you'd have to push through it for BMOQ unless its completely debilitating. I;d just focus on getting as many opinions as possible, and check out some alternative...
Yes this is true, the CFAT was intense.
And it might be best to aim a little higher than the minimum requirements. I can do about 40 pushups in a minute and my record is 18 overhand pull-ups, but I want to increase both of those numbers. As for endurance I think the real challenge will not be...
Niiiice! Yeah that app was a beast.
So has anyone else been thinking about PT to get ready for basic? I'm gonna start rucking and get really good at pushups and pullups.
